Bark Social, the dog-friendly bar with a location in Philadelphia’s Manayunk neighborhood, announced it will close its doors at the end of the business day on Thursday.
The bar made the announcement on social media in a joint post with all other Bark Social locations. These locations include Baltimore; Bethesda and Columbia, Maryland; and Alexandria, Virginia.
According to the statement, the company was in a growth round of financing, but the financing unexpectedly fell through. As a result, the company made the difficult decision to close and declare bankruptcy.
The statement read in part: “In order to honor its team members, who are the heart and soul of the company, Bark Social has made the difficult decision to close its doors today.”
